Project Histories

An oversize page .PDF file
scanned from the newspaper which contains pictures and
decsriptions of the facilities, mission, and staff of the
facility. The "station" has more recently been known as
METC - the Morgantown Energy Technology Center, and
currently as part NETL - the National Energy Technology
Center of the US Department of Energy.

Don Strimbeck, our Secretary, was recently interviewed as
part of a US Department of Energy project to trace the
history of the National Energy Technology Laboratory. The
full document NETL: A Century of Innovation can be
found on the webite http://www.netl.doe.gov
The entire book may be downloaded as a .PDF file. With
regard to Mon Valley history, the story starts with
"Chapter One: Pittsburgh — the Center for Coal." On the
Upper Mon, there is a section "The Beginnings of
Coal-Gasification Research at Morgantown" which can be
found on page 153.
